It’s been a month since Gen Con and since then I’ve been really busy at work leading to my limited time to write here. I have however had some time to play games that I picked up at Gen Con including Dragon Slayer, Sentinel: Tactics, Abyss, Cash & Guns and...

Seminar : Using Games To Build Community
Sooo….. This is the 2nd time I’ve posted this. Thanks to the wonders of the Blogger Android app I managed to wipe the original post. Fortunately I had the content of the post in an email I sent to Dustin. Needless to say the Blogger Android app has been removed...
Continue reading...Gen Con Seminar : The Psychology Of Gaming
So yeah I attended this seminar and it was very interesting although I think I was out of my depth at times… The pitch for the event was – “Are you interested in psychology? Are you looking for some insight into what makes gamers tick? Come join a talk on...

Another one of those games that I’ve blogged about on here on a few occasions is Sentinels. Seeing that someone was running a 3-part scenario driven game of this at Gen Con I knew that I had to play in it. The linkage between the scenarios was light so that...

So it started almost like part of my normal daily commute. In other words it started early. 5:30am departure to pick up Greg and then pick up Liz for us all to get into the airport for no later than 7:30am. Or at least that was the plan. As it...

This is really just a long list of STUFF that I’ve perused on a variety of websites listing what’s coming out at Gen Con. Some of this will actually be bought and some of this will simply be looked at and drooling will commence. I’m going to fail to stick...

All good things… Whilst Gen Con comes to an end on the Sunday my trip to Gen Con doesn’t as we don’t fly back until the Monday. So what does the Sunday have in store for me? Not a lot (of events). The list is short because Gen Con essentially...
